About Us

We are a team of Christ-led researchers, practitioners and theologians animated by a singular vision: To see the Church lead as agents of peace in a broken world.

Our Foundation

The Center for Peacebuilding and Conflict Transformation reflects the Church’s calling to reclaim its vocation as a community of peace. Our mission and vision flow from the belief that peace is not merely the absence of conflict but the active, Spirit-led work of restoring right relationship—with God, with one another, and with the world.

  • Our Mission

    The Center for Peacebuilding and Conflict Transformation equips, connects, and forms Christian leaders to understand the roots of conflict, respond wisely in moments of crisis, and cultivate the long-term relational and institutional health necessary for lasting peace.

  • Our Vision

    Joining Christ in forming a Church with the wisdom, capacity, and competency to heal historical and present divisions, faithfully bearing the ministry of reconciliation, and participating as active partners in the restoration of all things.

  • Our Principles

    We are guided by faithful discernment, rigorous inquiry, and responsible action in our work to resource, support, and partner with those closest to communities actively navigating conflict and pursuing peace and relational healing.

  • Our Practices

    Our work is guided by the conviction that peacebuilding is both a theological mandate and a spiritual discipline. As such, we cultivate practices that form leaders inwardly and engage the world outwardly.

We believe the Church has a unique calling in this moment: to heal wounds of hurt, anger, and harm through the power of humility, courage, and love.

Today’s leaders often feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unequipped in the face of conflict, division, and increasing polarization. CPCT exists to help change that.

As a program within Fuller Theological Seminary, the Center for Peacebuilding and Conflict Transformation benefits from Fuller’s rich tradition of integrating theology, spiritual formation, and practical engagement with real-world challenges. Being embedded in this learning community enables us to connect academic excellence with lived experience, preparing leaders to engage conflict with empathy, courage, and the vision of God’s reconciling work in the world.

⎯⎯ WHO WE SERVE

We serve Fuller Seminary internally (faculty, students, culture, and curricula) and the Church externally (pastors, ministry and business leaders, congregations, and communities), acting as a diagnostic and resourcing hub within a broader ecosystem of Christian peacebuilding.
